Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the emergence of English opera from 1656 to 1710, a period when the heroic drama rose to prominence. It examines the interplay between the two genres, revealing how composers like Purcell and Locke blended spoken dialogue with musical interludes. The author explores how the Restoration era's fascination with French romances influenced heroic plays and operas, leading to the development of elaborate plots, supernatural characters, and romantic themes. While discussing the operatic contributions of Dryden, the author highlights how the genre differed from its Italian counterpart in its emphasis on naturalism and intensity. Ultimately, this book deepens our understanding of the literary and musical landscape of this era, shedding light on the complex relationship between opera and heroic drama, and their enduring impact on English literature.
